Recently, Unkabogable star Vice Ganda opened up about his worries during the COVID-19 pandemic, Bitag’s host Ben Tulfo could not help but praise Vice Ganda for not hesitating to show his vulnerability.
The broadcaster explained in his radio show, Bitag Live that his attention was caught by the courage of Vice Ganda to speak up about his true concerns and fears in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Talagang nakatawag ng pansin, with due respect and I admired the courage and being unfiltered itong si Vice Ganda. Alam niyo ho ba kung bakit? Unfiltered niyang sinabi ang kaniyang pangamba ngayong pandemya.”
He first defined Vice Ganda as personality who ‘loves’ to insult and make fun of others but he was shocked that the comedian changed,
” Siya [Vice Ganda] yung personality sa showbiz na he will make fun at you at your expense, he will criticize you sa kanyang mga shows kung minsan pag lalaruan ka sa social media at kung ano anong posts pero ngayon aba’y nagbago.”
He was really amazed by how the comedian had the guts and courage to reveal his fears and feelings to the public.
“Si Vice Ganda, naglakas ng loob magsalita, ipahayag ang damdamin niya, ‘di tulad ng iba diyan, sige pa rin ng sige, kung anu-ano pinagsasasabi sa social media post,” Tulfo said.
He then compared Vice Ganda to personalities who just keep posting pretty faces on their social media accounts.
“At least si Vice Ganda, nagsasabi ng totoo, ‘di kapareha nung iba diyan. Kaya nakatawag ng aking pansin, nagkaroon ho siya ng lakas ng loob, buo ang loob na ipinahayag ang kanyang mga pangamba at takot.”
Earlier, Vice Ganda acknowledged that his mental health was impaired by the COVID-19 pandemic and his concerns.
He boldly opened up about his difficulties during the pandemic, especially on the recent shutdown of ABS-CBN were the thought that he would no longer have any job somehow scares him.
“Yung thought na mawawalan ako ng platform para makapagpatawa at saka ýung fact na ýung supporters ko hindi ako makikita, hindi ko maririnig ang madlang people, takot na takot ako roon.”
